Across the Luminous Realms and Other Tales from Legends, Myths & Fantasy by Chaitali Sengupta
₹500.00Add to cartChaitali Sengupta has produced a fluent and easy-to-read translation of two collections of stories that have long remained in the shadows, even among Dutch readers. Without adopting all of Couperus’ archaic turns of phrase, her translation nowhere feels forcedly modern. In doing so, she has done Couperus’ text full justice, making a number of relatively unknown but culturally historically very interesting stories accessible to a wide English-reading readers.Mary G.

Add to cartSubodh Sarkar’s Amour & Anger is a fierce, fragrant atlas of intimate ruin—poems that crackle with the feral pulse of the street, the bruise of desire, and the corrosive humour of a post-anthropocentric poet conversing with himself in the aftermath of love. Translated with an alchemical linguistic instinct by Bappaditya Roy Biswas, these mesmerizing sonnets illuminate the lyric tradition from within: each poem bends classical form into a theatre of rage, shame, carnivalesque profanity, and raw, unguarded intimacy. Reviving the art of the sonnet through his celebrated Kangaroo Sonnet Sequence, Sarkar positions the practice of the form at the confluence of Bengal’s poetic giants—from Jibanananda Das and Michael Madhusudan Dutt to Shakti Chattopadhyay—demonstrating how a classical form, most famously associated with Shakespeare, can be transformed into an indigenous wellspring for modern sensibility where lyricism, transgression, and tenderness converge with startling intensity. The aesthetics of these sonnets are unmistakably Bengali—earthy, playful, musical, imbued with the lilting gossip of fishes and the vernacular rustle of paddy fields yet global in sensibility, temperament, and emotional reach…Ashwani Kumar
